The Diono Radian RXT is THE Best Car Seat I Have Ever Owned!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

You can strap this on your back to carry, which makes it great for travel!

What if I told you Diono has a Convertible + Booster Car Seat that you can fold up and strap on like a backpack, making it perfect for taking on trips?! That'd be pretty awesome, right? It is also airline approved, so if you're flying, you can take the Radian RXT right on the plane. The approval seal is stamped right on the side of the seat so when the stewardess comes around and asks to see it, and she will, it's going to be no problem at all!

That's just the icing on the cake, so I should have saved that information for last, but it was too exciting for me to keep it suppressed for even a few paragraphs. No more do you have to worry about dragging a car seat along the narrow aisles of an airplane, now you can carry it right on your back. Nor do you have to get upset about no car seat in grandma's car... this one is easily portable and can transfer from your car to grandma and grandpa's car with ease.

The Diono Radian RXT is also designed so that the seat adjusts to accommodate growing babies, but it doesn't take up a lot of room while it's doing so. A lot of car seats are big and bulky but not this one. It's heavy, don't get me wrong, but that's because it's no-messing-around solid construction. It's slender though (with expanding leg room for growing kiddos) so that three people can still fit comfortably on a 3-seat bench of a back seat. I've even seen a picture of three Diono's side by side in a back seat. Yeah, that's a cool feature.

The EPS foam-cushioned headrest adjusts to (12) different positions, showing yet again how easy it is for the seat to adjust to your growing baby/toddler/child. There are also (5) shoulder and (3) buckle positions, and the seat has an angler to ensure a contoured fit on the seat of any type of car.

It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but there's also a spot for you to write in personal information, which would be necessary if an emergency happened. That's something you hope you never need to use, but nice to have if you do.

The Radian RXT has a full steel frame and aluminum reinforced sides. It was created and designed with safety first and foremost in mind.

The Diono Radian RXT has an insert for baby (5 - 45 lbs.), so you can use it as a rear-facing seat (it has a special tilt base for the little ones too). 45 lbs. might seem like a lot, but my daughter-in-law swears it's the safest way with a little one. She still has her baby girl facing backwards and she's 2-years-old. It's no problem at all, it's just natural since that's they way they've done it since birth.

Of course you can take the insert out and turn it around too, to be a front-facing seat if your child is 20-80 lbs. And if you want to use it as a booster, with the lap belt going across (instead of the 5-point-harness) you can do that too. :)

My son is 8-years-old. and he fits in the seat wonderfully. If you use the booster it goes from 50 - 120 lbs.

10 year life

I've had four children of my own, and a nephew who used to ride with me everywhere. I've seen a lot of car seats in my time, and many of them I've really liked. This one however, is the nicest one I've ever seen or owned.

You can learn more about this car seat and the other seats and items that are available by visiting Diono. You can also follow them on Facebook and/or Twitter.

This looks like a great car seat. I have a friend who is expecting and I've been researching car seats for her. I'll send her on over to your post to check this one out. She wants the best one for her bun in the oven.

This is what I use for Madison and haven't used anything else in ages. We first installed it last year when we went to Disney World in the summer and it has never gotten out of my car. My husband actually has a Diono Radian for Madison in his car too. :) We love Diono!

When my daughter was younger we had to keep switching car seats every time she was over the weight limit of the previous car seat. It's so convenient to have car seats nowadays that grow and change with the child.

We don't have children yet but DO have a baby registry! After 5 years of infertility, we have done a ton of research about the best products and the Diono Radian RXT is the carseat we WILL use. It is by far the best in my opinion too! Thanks for sharing this with others :) - Anne @ www.ourthriftylife.com
